The Winnipeg Police Museum, established in 1986, displays artifacts related to the history of the Winnipeg Police Force, dating from its beginning in 1874. Formerly located in the Winnipeg Police Academy in the former Allard School, it later moved to the police headquarters in downtown Winnipeg. Plaques at the entrance to the headquarters commemorate police officers who were killed during service in the First World War and Second World War. The Second World War plaque was unveiled by Mayor Garnet Coulter on 8 January 1947 at a ceremony in the lobby of the Rupert Street police headquarters.
